Fisker patents EV battery with a range of 500 miles that can be charged in 1 minute!

Fisker reportedly made a breakthrough in solid-state batteries – and their technology could allow an EV to travel 500 miles after a single charge.

The company has filed a patent for a groundbreaking solid-state battery.

Green Car Congress reports that the patent includes claims about manufacturing processes and novel materials, saying, “Fisker’s solid-state batteries will feature three-dimensional electrodes with 2.5 times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries.” Recharging such a battery, they pointed out, would take less time than filling up a tank of gas today.

Here’s a representation of the three-dimensional electrodes:

Deployment/Implementation:

The project is years away from completion.

Deploy when figure logistics of implementation are figured out

For this particular technology, Fisker says that it will be automotive production grade ready around 2023.

In the meantime, Fisker plans to launch its Emotion electric car at CES 2018 in January 2018

It is very impressive technology considering how slow plastic decomposes. According to the link, “PET plastic takes between 450 – 1000 years to decompose. Most PET bottles end up in a landfill, eventually contaminating lands and groundwater. William Horner, Founder and President of Totally Green Bottles & Caps, believes that the bottled water marketplace is long overdue for a 100% compostable bottle, cap, and label.” This would reduce a lot of waste that could take hundreds of years to decompose. I wonder if there would be any health effects from drinking water out of these bottles all the time.
